Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected before starting work.
  2. Remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard engine.
  3. Unbolt and remove the water pump housing to access the impeller and gaskets.
  4. Carefully remove the old upper gasket, taking care not to gouge the mounting surfaces.
  5. Clean both the pump housing and the base plate surfaces thoroughly to remove any old gasket material or corrosion.
  6. Position the new gasket correctly onto the clean surface.
  7. Reinstall the water pump components, including the new impeller if performing a full service.
  8. Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
  9. Reinstall the lower unit, refill with gear lube, and test the engine's cooling system using a water supply before operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this gasket will fit my exact engine model?

The best way to confirm is by checking your original part number against the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix. You can also review the detailed Engine & Model Compatibility table on this page. If you are still unsure, please contact us with your engine's model and serial number before ordering.

What are the signs of a failing water pump gasket?

A failed upper water pump gasket can cause a water leak around the pump housing, leading to an overheating engine, reduced water pressure (weak "telltale" stream), or water intrusion into the gearcase. It should be replaced as part of regular impeller service to prevent these issues.

Can I reuse my old gasket?

No. Gaskets compress to create a seal and are designed for single use. Reusing an old gasket will likely result in an improper seal, leading to leaks and potential engine damage. Always use a new gasket when servicing the water pump.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

Shipping speed & cost?

Warranty & returns?

Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
